Bee-ing a Good Girl

Today I concentrated on catching up on a couple more bee commitments. Happily I can tick two more boxes.

First up was Hadley's massive 24" block for Brit Bee. As she used her Sissix to cut the HSTs there was no trimming required so this block was not nearly as much work as you might think. I love her choice of greys and blacks paired with pinks and oranges.

This was followed by two Quatrefoil blocks from the Modern Blocks quilting book. These were fun and easy as well, as I did most of it string piecing and they went together a treat. These are for Jennie - Clover and Violet - and she asked for a white background with bright fabrics. Definitely something you can find a bit of in my stash.

Next, I need to move on to my Stitch Tease blocks and work on these more. These are the blocks that we are not allowed to show until the final reveal in April. They are massive blocks, and many of them involve lots of inspirational thought and planning. Love a good challenge I do!

I think I've done well if I manage one bee block in a day - you knock those things out at a rate of knots! I'm struggling with Stitch Tease blocks - I think I'm one behind at the moment and keep putting off and putting off!
